Homework:	Homework will be assigned at (almost) every class meeting and will
be due next class. Late homework will not be graded (except when the delay is
excused) but its submission will be recorded and partial credit will be given for
it.

Tests:	There will be three in class tests  and a final. The schedule of tests is as follows:
		Test No. 1		Wednesday, February 7, 1996
		Test No. 2		Wednesday, March 6, 1996
		Test No. 3		Wednesday,  April 17, 1996
		Final examination 	Monday,  May 6, 1996     4:15 - 6:15
	There may also be some quizzes as need arises.

The tests will take place during regular class hours but they will start  five
minutes earlier and end five minutes later to allow for 60 minutes working time.
All tests and the final examination will take place in the same room that classes
ordinarily meet?

Students are reminded that they are bound by the Notre Dame Honor Code. Students
may cooperate and consult books and notes while working on their homework, but
the use of books, notes, etc. and communication with others is not allowed during
tests and quizzes.

Grading:	Each test will be worth 100 points and the final 150 points. Homework
and quizzes will contribute 50 more points  for a total of 500 points. An
approximate letter grade corresponding to the number of points earned will be
announced after each test has been graded and may vary with the degree of
difficulty of the test.

Attendance:	Cutting classes is, as a rule, detrimental to the student,
especially since the lectures will, occasionally, deviate from the textbook. 
Since my students are intelligent adults, I am rather lenient in dealing with
absences with the exception of tests and the final. A student absent from a test
must present a written excuse from the Office of the Vice-President for Student
Life. If circumstances preventing a student from taking a test are known before
hand, please, see me about it.

NOTE:	You are encouraged to use my office hours and contact me early with any
difficulties, before problems accumulate beyond help.
